QuestionI live in New York.The weather is a little warmer than it usually is at this time of the year.I have my Pitcher plants and Venus flytraps on my patio some of the leaves look like they are dead should I cut them off or wait till spring when I transplant them.Also when is the best time to take them in from the cold we still have a few months of winter left and I assume it will get colder
AnswerHello Sammy,
Just keep them from drying out or getting frozen solid. You can use mulch or bring them in and place them in a cold window where they will feel at least 40 degree weather when it gets below freezing. You can cut off dead leaves any time. It is usually best to clip them before dormancy as this will lessen the chances of mold growing on the plants while they are dormant.
